switching from 50 mg of Naltrexone to LDN

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am brand new to this group today, my name is Sara, and I am hoping some of you

might be able to help me with some unusual questions. I have a daughter with

autism, adhd, ocd, mr. She had to be hospitalized within the past few years

forover 3 months for extreem aggression. She is now home and doing very well

since I made a lot of changes, including dietary and working with a DAN doctor.

I had tried to wean her off her pychotropics in the past with the doc, and we

almost had to rehospitalize her - at that point our DAN doc put her on 50 mg

naltrexone (25 mg 2x/day) since she was howling in pain and holding her stomach

while she was melting down and aggressing.

Now fast forward about a year and a half. I have had her on SCD diet which is

helping the underlying inflammatory bowel disease as well as the behavioral

symtoms. I am weaning her off of the high dose naltrexone, and we are down to

12 1/2 mg 2x/day. I would like to shift her to LDN. She is 13 and weighs 160

pounds.

Questions: has anyone shifted from Naltrexone at a high dose (typically used

for recovering drug addicts) to LDN? Is this doable?

Also at her weight, would 5 mg be OK? That is what one doc suggested. Or would

it be better at 3.5 mg or so?

Thanks!

Sara
